Mother's day Lobster salad with vanilla bean vinaigrette

Here is a simple recipe that will please any seafood loving mom. I have tried lobster with vanilla bean vinagrette and the combination is suprisingly good. I believe at the time I tried it the the recipe for the viangrette was Charlie Trotter's. Sweet mango and peppery watercress add there own distinct flavors to the mix.
